I have a mature and healthy floribunda 'Pink Simplicity' which blooms almost constantly that I needed to move this year... I recently pruned hard and potted into a 5 gal container. Would this interest you?

Sonya, I do not have any English roses to trade you, but I do have a large potted 'Sombreuil', I could trade you. PLMK Gerry

Cool. I can see y'all have been busy. Is anyone else getting that sinking feeling of, "oh no.. what have we done?" (lol) I'm not even home yet and I already feel guilty about what I'm swapping for! I hope it stops raining long enough to care for everything we'll all be hauling back. (hehe) Notes: tn_veggie gardner (Steve) - I'll see about those dwarf pomegranate seeds. I'm not sure if the fruit are quite ready or not (they do have to ripen on the plant), but if they aren't, I'll just wait a bit and run them over to you sometime (It's not as if Percy Priest is miles away or anything). The fruit should be allowed to dry out thoroughly over the winter, and then come spring you can either plant them shallowly in a pot indoors (they need soil temps of around 65 degrees or better to germinate well) or outside later in the ground once the soil is warm. This variety ('Nana') does very well in a pot, so you may just want to do that. The plants are hardy to zone 7, but just to be safe I keep mine in the pot and then put it in the unheated garage near a window. Once a month I make sure it has a bit of water and I guess it goes semi-dormant, but it always leafs right back out once it starts getting more daylight and water again. I've overwintered it for three years successfully this way. Now, I think they could be left in the ground over winter here, as long as you gave it a very sheltered position, such as adjacent to a south-facing wall. I think they'd be like bananas and rosemary then, which aren't really supposed to be hardy here, but are with a bit of care. irisaddict - I'll have to see how many fruit I have out there, but as you can see above, I leave mine out in a pot all summer and then bring it into the garage for a bit of shelter over the winter. New-gardener-123 - I have one of the Shasta daisies for you, some trumpet lily bulbs, and a Korean bellflower. I'd love a chamomile start (if you still have some) and some gourd seeds for next year. :-) Pat - can bring you a bellflower in addition to the sedums already mentioned earlier. :-) Palmetto_gardener (Judy) - I'll give that second aster I have to you for those naked ladies. Thanks so much! And of course, the trades for Joe, Connie, Velvet, and Wanda already mentioned. I sure hope it doesn't rain tomorrow - otherwise it's going to be pretty mucky work getting the last few things out of the ground. And it's getting down to 34 this weekend! Can you believe it?

They need to be in indirect sunlight and they need to be kept in your little Coke bottle terrarium until they start putting out new leaves. Too much sunlight will fry them because the bottle traps a lot of heat (so if they are in a sunny window, make sure you only leave them there for a short while, then set them back away from it). But they need a bit of light (and the heat it generates) so they'll grow and put out leaves. I put mine in a north or east facing window usually, where they only get indirect light or at best short amounts of direct, cooler morning sunlight. Once you have new leaf growth appearing, you can start leaving the top of the bottle off for progressively longer and longer periods of time so they will become acclimated to their normal environment. This is when you also begin moving them to a location with more direct sunlight, so the new growth will be healthy and strong. Hope this answers your questions, Steve - ping me if you need more info.
